Sorry about that, I know Rodeo has an Eris. Looks like it's soon for the DX.http://androidcommunity.com/droid-does-web...ation-20100914/I have a Droid XNot happening for the Eris...sorry.http://www.droid-life.com/2010/09/17/andro...-to-droid-eris/Rodeojones said:WHERE'S MY FROYO?!?!
Dolphin HD browser
I use the default browser, but with a chrome icon for the shortcut. It's in the app store called "Fake Google Chrome" by Honiware & Biosoft. I'm not sure why I get a kick out of that, but I like it.
I like Dolphin HD as well. I used xScope for a while but was having Force Close problems with it.I like it over stock mainly because of the tabs and it seems faster.I've tried Skyfire and have it on my phone still...but they claim that you can easily watch videos with the browser but i've found it to be hit or miss (usually miss)Parasailer said:
There was an update to Angry Birds Lite late last week that resolved the issues for me. I have an EVO and I could never get the initial version of Angry Birds to run, but it works great now.
Go into the default messaging app and bring up the menu and go to settings, turn off notifications.
No need to, it is already installed during the update
Flash player.
Downloaded it this morning and running now. No issues so far.
Ditto...the google voice commands are killer and it comes stock with the 2.2 upgrade. VideoFor Google Chrome (browser) users, the "Chrome to Phone" extension is also really cool. With one push of a button in your Chrome browser, you can send maps, directions, web pages, etc. directly to your phone. I love this extension. Link
It didn't install for me automatically.

Can you guys walk me through example ways that you use this app?On another question that is related, what kind of options are available for synching bookmarks? I love love love x marks synching so that I have the same bookmarks on multiple desktops. Is there something like this for the android browser to synch bookmarks?J
I've done a few things so far.When I arrive to work my ringer is set to vibrate only. A text message is created to text my girlfriend that I'm at work.
Installed
Install the widget - 1 tap and they are all gone.
That's it. Check the ones you want to stop. Press the button at the top.
hipple explained it before, but I'll touch on it a little. Say you're surfing the web looking up some grill manufacturer. You're reading all about their product and want to give them a call. You copy their phone number, right click and select chrome (or FF)to phone. The phone number is sent to your phone, phone opens up the phone app, you hit send, call is placed. Say you want to go to their warehouse. Copy the address, chrome to phone, map opens up on the phone with the address. From there you can select to navigate to the address. Can send links to the phone that open up in the browser. You can copy and send text from a web page, it gets sent to the phone clipboard. You can then paste it into a note or another app. It's pretty handy.
In some cases, even easier then you describe. When at a web page, simply clicking the phone icon on the top right portion of the browser sends the page to the phone and it automatically opens it up. There is no cutting or pasting. I really like add on to the Google Chrome browser and DX.
yeah, just touching on it a little. copy/paste pieces of info, send phone, address/map, etc.
I use Pandora alot and the mix option 100% of the time. It definitely works.iwabaf said:
Joe, try the little battery charging trick mentioned earlier in the thread and see if that helps.
Thanks. If I'm understanding right, charge the phone as normal with the phone on. Then when it's charged, power the phone off with the button at the top then select "power off"?J
Also make sure GPS is off if you are not using it. Under settings it should be a checkbox under location
Charge it up. Turn it off. Then charge it for another 30+ minutes. Really seems to have helped my battery life.
Hey Joe,Regarding your Pandora question. Yes, Pandora uses alot of battery life, at least in my experience and I use Pandora alot.Regarding the charging question. When your phone reaches 100%, unplug the charging chord and power off the phone by pressing the top button and turn off phone. When phone powered off, plug charger back in (you will get the green battery icon) and allow to charge an additional 45 mins to one hour. You will see a noticeable difference in your battery life. In Droid forums I have visited, many users state that a 100% charge is not a true charge therefore the powering off steps.Additionally with battery life, I have my brightness down to the lowest settings unless it's day time. The screen is the biggest battery hog. Besides that, I run my phone pretty normally with no task killers, etc. If you google droid task killer, you will see alot of Droid geeks that say not to use the Task Killer app and that it causes more harm then good. If you travel, another recommendation is to "*228 option 2" to reset your roaming settings. This will reset which cell towers you are using and recommend to do once every 30 days. I don't travel much and still do it every 30 days to be safe.
take it with a grain of salt. there are a small minority of geeks that say it's bad because the system is designed to have open apps just go to cache and not use up memory. I have yet to talk to anyone or even read a post from someone that actually had a problem, and there are far more people that believe it is an essential app.
To play Devil's Advocate, I have tried the ATK app and currently have it removed and saw zero difference in battery life, cpu speed, etc. I am no DX expert and simply going on experience.FWIW
Battery Widget can also do this - it will show a live battery meter (100%, 90%, 80%, etc.) and if you touch it it will open a prompt that allows you to turn off three of the biggest battery killers out there - GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth. The big thing is that they all use the radio, which is basically like talking on the phone, except instead of a single conversation you start and then hang up, they constantly check to see if there's a GPS signal, or a WiFi signal, or any traffic for them on the WiFi network, or a bluetooth device, and so on. Turning those off when not in use will save a ton of energy on virtually any device.Old Shoe said:
